Although President Donald J. Trump postponed his call for mass detentions and deportations of immigrant families, many in Montgomery County began preparing for the federal raids and roundups they believe could still come at any time.
The Montgomery County Department of Police issued a statement, noting, “In reference to President Trump’s recent tweets and media reports, the Montgomery County Department of Police will not participate with ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) regarding any immigration enforcement efforts next week or at any other time.”
